How to update Linux Mint to Mint 21

All Linux distros have their advantages and disadvantages. I prefer Mint because it's easy to use, and it's simple to pick up for people who already know Windows, which is most everyone.

In that case, I recommend Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED), or Ubuntu Advantage. That's because these all come with corporate support.  See also All Linux distros have their

Mint Explainer: How James Webb shoots through cosmic dust

But if you're a professional photographer, the dust on your sensors will prevent light from reaching that specific area on your camera. As a result, the pixels in that region will appear as black spots in the photos. This is why professional photographers take a lot of care when shooting in dusty places.
